(November 15, 2014) – Heritage High School freshman phenom Weini Kelati ran the sixth fastest time (17:38) in VHSL state meet history at the Great Meadow Cross Country Course in The Plains on Nov. 15. Unfortunately for Kelati, E.C. Glass sophomore Libby Davidson ran the fastest ever 5,000-meter (17:12) at the state meet as Kelati had to settle for a second place finish.
Kelati’s finish did help the Pride girls to a third place team finish behind Jefferson Forest High School and E.C. Glass.
Heritage has a bright future ahead of them in girls cross country as the Pride will return every member of the state team next fall.
Loudoun County High School – which placed sixth overall – will return five members of the Raiders’ state team while eighth place Woodgrove will return three.
Jefferson Forest senior Erin Saunders (18:35), Jefferson Forest senior Alyssa Shupe (18:44), Grafton senior Rachel Bloxom (18:55), E.C. Glass senior Kate Carrington (18:59), Liberty senior Taylor Brown (19:00) and Jefferson Forest senior Abby May (19:06) rounded out the top-eight girls.
On the boys side, Woodgrove High School senior Joshua Cromwell’s 16th-place finish (16:25) was the best of any Loudoun athlete.
The boys individual champion was E.C. Glass High School senior Peter Seufer (15:18).
Midlothian senior Collin Hahn (15:27), Millbrook junior Tyler Cox-Philyaw (15:39), Midlothian senior Evan Benjamin (15:45), Millbrook sophomore Alex Schrank (15:50), Charlottesville senior Warren Riley Covert (15:51), Midlothian junior Randy Hahn (15:57) and Tabb senior Baron Kieffer (16:06) rounded out the top-eight boys.
